SPECIAL SCREENING OF "WINGED MIGRATION" AT MFA-HOUSTON 4/17
Winged Migration, an epic film that explores the mystery of migratory birds, will screen 7 p.m. April 17 at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Filmed over three years and spanning 40 countries, filmmakers flew alongside birds, and their story takes us from the Eiffel Tower to the Arctic and Amazon.
The screening is especially timely as, from March-May, thousands of birders from around the world visit High Island (a small town some 80 miles from Houston) to see the huge number of birds passing through. Flying from their wintering grounds in Latin America to their spring nesting locations in North America, tired migrant birds take a break right on the Texas coast.
Winged Migration presents an astonishing, aerial point of view of flocks’ journeys from locations around the world. The screening is co-hosted at the MFAH by Houston Audubon’s Young Professional group, the Night Owls, and Real Films; and celebrates Texas’ special location on a major migratory route.
